NEPTUNE GRASS IN MITJORN BEACH IN FORMENTERA

COVERED ROCKS WITH NEPUTE GRASS

Mitjorn beach or Migjorn (Mitjorn or Migjorn means the south wind) the name of this beach exists on both islands, both on the south side of Ibiza and Formentera islands, in Ibiza is best known as Playa de Las Salinas and in Formentera preserves this name; Is a really long beach of nearly five miles long. In one place there are some rocks that after storms are covered with Neptune grass (Posidonea in spanish) The Posidonia is a sea plant not a seaweed as often is confused.

In this picture above we can see seagulls resting on rocks covered with Posidonia. Many people mistakenly think that the beach is dirty because the rest of Posidonia on the sand, but the reality is that thanks to this marine plant, sand is held in place in summer thanks to the action of this plant, and we must thank the posidonia also for the spectacular blue of the sea in some areas of the islands because the action and presence of this plant into the sea.

Posidonia meadows between Ibiza and Formentera, have the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site which was granted to Ibiza, biodiversity and culture, in 1999 and declared World Heritage property to the fortified town of Ibiza (Dalt Vila) the Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins, the Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta and seagrass meadows in the area of the saltworks of Ibiza and Formentera.

In any case the sight of these rocks completely covered of sea grass in the coast of Formentera is just amazing.

THE LITTLE BOAT THAT LINKS TALAMANCA AND IBIZA TOWN

FROM TALAMANCA TO IBIZA CENTRO

In Ibiza there are things simply temporary, and some that are a classic and every year there are present season after season. In this case I want to dedicate a small tribute to this little mode of transport connecting the two opposite sides of the bay of Ibiza, transporting tourists and residents from the center of Ibiza Town (port of course) to the area more "chic" of Marina Botafoch at the other end just separate for mile and a half one to another.

Of Course I am talking about this small little boat, now known by several generations of Ibiza. A boat identical to that which today crosses the bay from the capital of the island began in 1932 cruising this little paths that linked the two areas (the tourist area of ​​Talamanca and Ibiza Town) and currently still does so. So in this case the slab is fully guaranteed.

As a bonus should be added that the views of the old town of Ibiza from this boat is amazingly nice on each route that takes only about ten to fifteen minutes. Here we can also easily find large ships entering or leaving the port a few meters from us.

And among these great modern yachts, this one more modest but still experienced daily by joining the two points of the Bay of Ibiza in summer daily from late March to late October and from 09.00 Hours untill late midnight.

Aniano today is heir to his ancestors who created this company and today continues to carry out personally. In addition they also have a different boat, this one, daily links the port of Marina Botafoch directly to the port of La Savina in Formentera at very good prices and very convenient for all these tourists who stay in the area of ​​Talamanca, where they can go on foot from their hotels to Marina Botafoch and then directly to the neighboring island.
